[Marxism] And another comment on Peronism

[John Obrien]

Sadly the Peron's choose to take money, to provide refuge for Nazis and other Axis fascists, to enter Argentina, at the end of their terror in Europe.  That is a fact, I want to also mention - before we proclaim the Perons', Marxist icons to emulate!!! 

 

As a Marxist, the need to even mention a persons' parents were not legally married, adds nothing, to me - unless this specifically led the person, to struggle against the religious superstition and backwardness of the society and culture, they might have been in.  Since both Perons, did not challenge the Roman Church and met the pope and worked with the pope's agents to smuggle fascists into Argentina, it does not seem they learned anything from prejudice they might have experienced because their parents were not legally married, or the marriage service was not conducted in the Roman Catholic Church.

 

The transmission of wealth, is important to the bourgeosie, through such legal marriages, but should not matter to Marxists, or if their parents were having sex outside of the legal and religious marriage codes!  The shame is not the Perons parents sexual activities, it is in trying to connect San Martin with the Perons, who in no way can be compared to San Martin, for their sheltering Nazi scum!
